    Anyone able to speak more to the material? I’ve never seen stucco used like this and I’m intrigued.

    Bead? So it’s small? Something to indicate scale would have been nice.

    Should I be surprised that it looks like they directly wrote information on it? (E1100P?)

    I’m just a little surprised the museum would do that. Special ink maybe?

      Yeah, sometimes they apply a clear (removable) coating to the surface first and then write on it.

      Other times it’s just low-acid inks (or extremely soft-graphite pencil) applied directly to the surface. It’s only painted objects that they really can’t do that with.

      Ultimately, it adds to the provenance, so it’s easier to track and verify many years from now. It’s different than some kid finding it on the playground, and etching his initials in it with a protractor.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
